Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Greece not to “go too far” amid heightened tension over territorial disputes between the two NATO allies.
“Greece’s occupation of Aegean Sea islands is not our concern,” Erdogan said in a speech Saturday in Samsun province on the Black Sea coast. “When the time comes, we will do what is necessary. As we say, all of a sudden, we can come overnight.”
